What are some examples of a pressed cookie?

"Pressed cookie" is a bit of a broad term, but here are some examples of cookies that are typically pressed, or made using a press:

Classic Pressed Cookies:

* Spritz Cookies: These are the most common example of pressed cookies. They are made with a stiff dough that is pressed through a cookie press to form intricate shapes. Spritz cookies are often decorated with sprinkles or colored sugars.

* Shortbread Cookies: Shortbread dough can be pressed into molds or cut into shapes, making for a beautifully textured cookie.

* Biscotti: Biscotti dough is stiff and dry, and is typically pressed into log shapes before being sliced and baked twice.

* Madeleines: These small, shell-shaped cookies are made with a batter that is pressed into molds.

Other Cookies Made with Pressing Techniques:

* Thumbprint Cookies: While not technically pressed, the dough for thumbprint cookies is rolled into balls and then indented with a thumb to create the signature shape.

* Peanut Butter Blossoms: The dough for peanut butter blossoms is pressed into balls and then topped with a chocolate kiss.

* Rugelach: Rugelach dough is a type of yeasted dough that is rolled out and then filled with a variety of ingredients, such as fruit or nuts, before being rolled up and sliced. The sliced dough is then pressed into a cookie shape.

It's important to remember that not all cookies made with a cookie press are considered "pressed cookies". The term is usually reserved for cookies that have a distinctly pressed texture, like spritz cookies.
